Qualcomm: beats consensus in Q3.

The specialist in the design of telecom solutions, which is currently in a commercial dispute with Apple, indeed saw its net income collapse 89% to 168 million dollars, due to an extraordinary provision of 778 million dollars for this dispute (which concerns patents around components in the iPhone and iPad and which is currently subject to litigation), along with the risk of a fine in Taiwan for a dominant market position and another legal dispute with Blackberry. Excluding these extraordinary items, Qualcomm's EPS reached 92 cents, compared to the consensus of 81 cents.
